The members of the Income Assistance Advisory Group are:
  • Steve Compton – CEO, YMCA of Regina;
  • Andy Livingston – Past President of the Board of Directors for SaskAbilities;
  • Kelly Delmage – Executive Director, Pipestone Kin-Ability Centre Inc.;

Topics the group will be asked to advise on could include:
  • how social services programs and services can be made more client friendly;
  • how to build on the good work of the Program Implementation Advisory Team to ensure that people with disabilities continue to receive good quality services and supports; and
  • better alignment of ministry and community services for our clients and beneficiaries.
